The early poems of an American master"I have loved the air outside Shop-Rite Liquoron summer eveningsbetter than the Marin hills at dusklavender and goldstretching miles to the sea.At the junction, up from the synagoguea weeknight, necessarilyand with my father--a sale on German beer.Air full of living dust:bus exhaust, air-borne grains of pizza crustwounded crystalsappearing, disappearingamong streetlights and unsuccessful neon."--"Poetics"August Kleinzahler's first collections won him a cult following but have long been out of print and hard to find. Here Kleinzahler--acclaimed by The Times (London) for the "vision and confident skill to make American poetry new"--has selected the best of the poems collected in Storm over Hackensack (1985) and Earthquake Weather (1989) and added an autobiographical Preface.
